Left and right unilateral electrode placements were alternately applied in electroconvulsive therapy given to 21 men with melancholia. Accompanying heart rate elevations were greater following right unilateral treatment than left unilateral, apparently because of longer persistence of peak rates. This is consistent with right cerebral hemisphere superiority in the control of heart rate activity in neurologically intact humans.
对21名患有忧郁症的男性进行电休克治疗时,交替采用左右单侧电极放置。右侧单侧治疗后伴随的心率升高幅度大于左侧单侧治疗,这显然是由于峰值心率持续时间更长。这与在神经功能正常的人类中,右侧大脑半球在控制心率活动方面具有优势是一致的。
